For example , I need install command "ssh" , RH yum can do "yum provides */ssh " search the package .
Aren't emerge have some command like that ?
Sometimes " emerge -S ... " or " emerge -s ... " can't found .

You can try equery :
Code:
root@gentoox64 ~ # equery b /usr/bin/equery
 * Searching for /usr/bin/equery ...
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.7 (/usr/bin/equery)

you need to install above package to access it.

Crazy_Jerry,
eix is the best tool to perform such a task; it is made to be more efficient and flexible than emerge's search functionality, and is very useful to find all information you need about the packages in the tree. For example, a simple:
Code:
eix ssh

would return all the packages (installed and not) containing the ssh string:
Code:
......

* net-misc/ksshaskpass
     Available versions:  (4) 0.5.3
        {{aqua debug}}
     Homepage:            http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=50971&forumpage=0
     Description:         KDE implementation of ssh-askpass with Kwallet integration.

[I] net-misc/openssh
     Available versions:  5.9_p1-r4 ~6.0_p1 ~6.0_p1-r1 ~6.1_p1 {{X X509 bindist +hpn kerberos ldap libedit pam selinux skey static tcpd}}
     Installed versions:  5.9_p1-r4(20:57:46 16/12/2012)(X hpn pam tcpd -X509 -bindist -kerberos -ldap -libedit -selinux -skey -static)
     Homepage:            http://www.openssh.org/
     Description:         Port of OpenBSD's free SSH release

* net-misc/openssh-blacklist
     Available versions:  0.4.1
     Homepage:            http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/openssh-blacklist.html
     Description:         Source files of vuln Debian keys
.....


eix is not installed by default, you have to:
Code:
emerge app-portage/eix


Here → a useful wiki page about eix

Boot things does not do what he wanted.

He wants a command telling him in which not installed packet the command is. But this won't work with a sourcebased distro, atleast not good.

AFAIK there is not such a command on gentoo.

If you want to search for a file in packages which are not installed you can use Portage File List. This data is provided by Gentoo users using the app-portage/pfl package. If you install pfl then you can use the e-file command to search.
